"Eating with", "drinking with", and "sleeping with" are called three companions, and Li Yi only occupies the first item.
For the majestic king of a country, it is only a matter of one sentence to ask anyone to accompany him for dinner. Why did he choose himself
Li Yi was already very full, and he still had to finish the tremella and lotus seed porridge in front of him. Fortunately, the old emperor might not have had enough in the morning, and he seemed to have a good appetite. Most of the food on the table was full. into his stomach.
After a while, it seemed that he was finally full. Emperor Jing put down his chopsticks, and the waiter standing aside hurriedly handed over a yellow silk scarf. Emperor Jing wiped his mouth with it, and asked abruptly: "Let you come from Qing'an Mansion When you arrive in the capital, do you feel dissatisfied with me?"
"Thanks to the emperor's grace, being granted the title of son of Chang'an County is a matter of glory, and I am not dissatisfied." Even if there is real dissatisfaction, it is impossible to say it so bluntly. What the old emperor asked was simply nonsense. Of course, Li Yi still could only think about this sentence in his heart.
"I know that you are lazy and unwilling to participate in court disputes. I promise you that I will not let you get involved, so I will only confer titles on you and not add officials." Emperor Jing stood up and said, "It's all from me." The land of Jingguo, Qing'an is different from the capital, you are a rare talent, and everything you have done in the past six months has completely solved my urgent need, if you can't use it for the country, it will be a great pity."
Li Yi is a little ashamed. Compared with other people, he lacks national self-esteem and national honor, but he can't blame him. His soul comes from another world, and he is not a citizen of Jingguo. I have integrated into the current society and accepted it, but the deep-rooted things in my bones cannot be easily changed.
Moreover, the gap between how strong a person can be and the resistance he may face is too great.
"There is no suitable position for you in the imperial court, but if you are left idle at home, it would be a waste of talents. You don't want to do nothing if you think about it." Emperor Jing walked out of the pavilion, and Li Yi could only follow him, paused, and listened to him again. Said: "The Guozijian highly respects that new algorithm. Since you are quite accomplished in mathematics, why not go to the palace to teach the mathematics lessons of the princess and the princes. They always complain that the lessons taught by the master are difficult to understand. You should have a better way."
Li Yi really wants to say that he is very willing to do nothing, and just let him be a moth of a country. What kind of mathematics do you teach? It's okay to make yourself uncomfortable.
However, the old emperor was obviously declaring the facts, not asking for his opinion, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could only reserve his opinion.
"Princesses and princes are still young and have bad tempers. It's really not easy to discipline them. You just treat them as students and act cheaply when the time comes."
"Do it cheaply?" These four words can be understood in any way, but if they are spoken from the mouth of a country's emperor, it means that Li Yi, a mathematics teacher, has a lot of authority. If any prince is disobedient, it is called "doing things cheaply" ".
Standing with the emperor is a stressful thing - even if he is very approachable and does not put on the airs of the emperor.
Fortunately, the old emperor has so many things to do every day, so he doesn't have so much time to spend here with him, maybe it's just a part of lunch time.
Li Yi didn't expect to be a teacher to those princes and princesses. However, he only needs to teach five times a month, and each time is only one hour. The working conditions are quite good. For Li Yi who has rich work experience , is not so unacceptable.
Of course, this time it's not for nothing and money.
…
…
"Li Xianzi, I will take you out of the palace." Wei Zhong led Li Yi in front with a straight face, expressionless.
Li Yi didn't understand why the guy who had been greeting him with a smile just now suddenly changed into this expression. Finally, when he was about to walk out of the palace gate, he couldn't help asking: "Wei Neijian, you have been so stern all the way. , do you have a problem with me?"
Wei Zhong trembled when he heard the words, and with a frightened expression on his face, he said, "Isn't Li Xianzi not letting villains laugh in front of you?"
The poor eunuch was about to cry in his heart. When has he ever seen such a hard-to-serve master, he can't even smile, and he can't do without smiling. In front of him, I am more careful than in front of His Majesty!
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and he just said it casually. He didn't expect this guy to really take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm just saying, don't take it seriously, just laugh if you want to laugh..."
Although he doesn't look good when he smiles, it's much better looking than with a dead face, like he's going to stab someone in the back at any time.
When they entered the palace, they were carried in sedan chairs, and when they returned, they could only walk by themselves.
Wei Zhong originally wanted to call Li Yi a sedan chair at the gate of the palace, but Li Yi refused.
After touching his swollen stomach, Li Yi felt that he had better walk back.
Entering the palace this time, there are still some gains.
Suddenly he was conferred a title and a land. He didn’t say anything else. He was always a little uneasy. Now that he’s healed, the worries in his heart are gone. It’s just a matter of entering the palace every few days and returning to his old business. By the way, catch up with Her Royal Highness the old days, talk about business cooperation, and eat the food in the palace, life is pretty happy.
And when he digested food all the way, stepped into the gate of Li's house, and bumped into a man oncoming, his life reached the peak of happiness.
Li Yi had an expression of extreme surprise on his face, and asked, "Old Fang, why are you here? Are Ruyi and Xiaohuan here?"
Lao Fang also had the same surprise on his face, and the next moment he gave Li Yi a big bear hug, patted his shoulder vigorously, and let him go when Li Yi was almost out of breath, grinning and said: "Here we are. We just arrived in the capital. If it hadn't been delayed by the rain on the road, we would have arrived a few days earlier!"
"By the way, why are you here? Where are Ruyi and the others now?"
"It's such a long way. Miss and Xiaohuan came to the capital. I was worried, so I came with them. If something happens, it will be easier for a man to do it." Lao Fang said with a smile: "Have we just arrived?" How long has the old lady been pulling the young lady to talk... "
If it hadn't been for my sister-in-law telling him yesterday, Li Yi still didn't know that the old lady had picked them up. At this time, the excitement in his heart could not be concealed, and a servant of the Li family led him to the old lady's residence. .
"Uncle!"
Just after passing through a moon gate, a thin figure trotted over from the front. Li Yi stretched out his hand and caught the little maid who rushed over. A familiar figure came out of the room.
